Some weeks later

10 am

I wear my jacket as soon as he stops the car at the apartment I know well enough to recognise it just with a simple glance from the corner of my eyes, "here." Jungkook gives the box of candles to me, "should I come too?" He takes his sunglasses off, licking his lips with softness in his features.

"Yes, please." Knowing I'll be much more confident and comfortable if he's with me, I ask him to come along.

He smiles, so we both get out the car and he makes sure to lock it before leaving upstairs in the building with me. "Are you sure she'll be there at home?" He confirms this, "yeah, she's going to be there. It's winter holidays."

We both reach the dorm I once stayed in, some months ago. I look at him, and he smiles, knocking on the old wooden door which still has mold underneath it.

"Are you okay, sweetheart?" He looks in my eyes, seeing the way my chest is rising and falling so deeply, I nod, tightening my grip in his big warm hand. "Don't be nervous." He skims his free hand across my lower back and plants a comforting kiss on my head, my body relaxing, I smile and feel the comfort taking over me slowly.

The door opens, our heads turning forth at the girl who gasps. "Holy cow, june?!" Michelle cries. I do not wait and I lean up into her arms, wrapping mine around her torso. "I missed you."

I whisper, her giggle sounding muffled but she looks behind me as soon as we move away. "Hello, mister." She bows to the oldest one here, he smiles softly, nodding once. "Come in, the house is a mess, I'm sorry. If I had known you were coming, it'd seem cleaner..."

Her nervous chuckle of embarrassment as I remove my shoes and go inside, jungkook following me from the behind, "that's okay. It's not even messy." She takes all the packet of chips and the empty dirty dishes away. But someone I didn't expect to see comes out of the bedroom. Kiyoung scratches his head, just woken up, he doesn't even open his eyes fully but once he takes a glimpse of my grin, he stops in his track, "holy shit, why are you here? I mean- wait, what's happening...?"

His mind wandering round and round in circles. I sit down but glare at his stupidity, "I'm supposed to ask you that, but I won't, I'm not an idiot like you. Thanks, michelle." I hold the cup of flavoured water from her hand.

She smiles but goes to the dummy and hits the back of his head, "can you stop being so much of an ass and go put a shirt on?" She murmurs but everyone hears it, the cold morning being quiet enough for even hearing a pin falling down. I feel an arm snaking on my thigh.

Kiyoung runs inside the bedroom but i see kumi walking out of the room, her tiny hands rubbing her eyes, she sits down on her knees to crawl, unable to remember that she can walk. I turn to put some attention on the man who's silent ever since he stepped inside the room. He smiles faintly with his strawberry lips, his hand skimming through my bare skin without any heavy thoughts, a soft habit of his I'm yet not used to.

"Good morning." Michelle picks up the one who lied down on the floor to sleep. I smile at them, "she's really tough to wake up..." I tell what I know. "Just lay her down here, she'll eventually wake up on her own."

She comes to me and does as told. "I'll check on the tea." Kumi sits up as soon as the older one goes away. She takes notice of me and smiles, but once she looks at the one next to me, she slides down and comes closer to jungkook's legs. "Hey..."

He smiles, his eyes softening at the small girl, his hand glides down to her. He strokes her chubby cheek and she giggles, trying to climb up on his lap. "Do you want to sit here?"
